Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 62 Fusion Requirements: Soul Skills Complementary

"Indeed, the soul ring has a pre-set soul power circulation route inside, just like a soul guide lamp, which saves soul masters a lot of time. Otherwise, those dense circulation patterns would be impossible for a soul master to handle."

Xiao Wu knew that there were soul power flow paths within soul rings, but these paths were extremely complex. Even the simplest waist bow soul skill had tens of thousands of soul power flow paths, involving many detailed aspects of soul power flow. If humans were to try to do it themselves—

If it's just imitation of actions, it's possible to make a rough version, but more detailed things are beyond human capabilities, and there simply aren't that many soul power circulation pathways within the human body.

However, just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you won't be able to do it after becoming a Title Douluo.

Title Douluo all possess extremely powerful mental strength!

"So, as long as the flow patterns of soul power within the soul rings are not too different, or even identical, then you can fuse the rings?" Xiao Wu asked.

"uncertain."

Tang San shook his head. "If it were that simple, wouldn't all Soul Masters who pursue the ultimate style be able to fuse Soul Rings? We still need to consider whether the Soul Ring itself can withstand the energy after fusion."

"Soul rings produced by the same type of soul beast may have the same soul skills and the same soul power flow patterns, but they may not be able to fuse. I even think they may repel each other."

Xiao Wu asked in confusion, "Why? The spirit rings and spirit skills produced by the same type of spirit beast are the same, so why would there be a repulsion?"

"The book 'The Legend of Huo Yang' describes a case where a Soul King named Huo Yang was cultivating the Fusion Ring technique. After his five Soul Rings were fused together, they exploded, and Huo Yang was completely destroyed in the impact of that energy."

Tang San recounted a case: "Huo Yang's martial soul is fire, a pure elemental martial soul. All five of his soul rings come from a soul beast called the Firebird, and his soul skills are all flame sublimation, a soul skill that can continuously purify flames."

"This Huo Yang is incredibly talented. He constantly refines his flames using his soul skills. Even without any offensive soul skills, the temperature of his flames alone is enough to keep Soul Saints from getting close."

"In pursuit of higher temperatures, he chose to cultivate the Fusion Ring technique. He believed that since all five of his spirit rings came from the same type of spirit beast and had the same spirit skills, he could definitely succeed in cultivating them."

"However, when he first started cultivating, he encountered trouble. He discovered that the attributes between the five soul rings could be fused, but when they got close, there was an extremely serious repulsion, making it difficult to fuse. Huo Yang felt that his control was not good enough, so he spent five years training his soul power manipulation."

Five years later, he succeeded. He could forcibly suppress the five spirit rings together with his soul power, but the repulsion reaction was even stronger. However, seeing that the five spirit rings were closer than before, he felt that he was on the right track. So he spent another five years training in soul power manipulation and then made one last attempt.

"It exploded with a bang."

Xiao Wu was speechless: "What kind of weird story is this?"

Tang San said seriously, "This is not a ghost story, but a real case. When Huo Yang was cultivating, his family recorded his situation. After Huo Yang failed, his family listed the Soul Ring Fusion Technique as a forbidden technique and left a rule that future generations who cultivate Soul Ring Fusion must have the same Soul Ring attributes, or at least not conflict with each other, but absolutely cannot allow Soul Rings with the same Soul Skill to be fused together."

"This is why I suspect that the flow of soul power within the soul ring is the key to successful ring fusion."

"Like puzzle pieces, only when they are placed in the right positions can they avoid conflict and exist better, or even perfectly, in the same space."

"A complete puzzle does not require two identical puzzle pieces."

"To use a more vivid analogy, it's like a magnet: like poles repel, and opposite poles attract."

Xiao Wu understood and, applying what she learned, said, "So, the soul skills we choose in the future must complement each other, right?"

"That's right. Just like my Blue Silver Grass, its first soul skill is endless recovery, which is essentially rooted in the earth, absorbing the earth's energy and transforming it; while its second soul skill is positive and negative buffs. Putting aside the effect of the seed, it can utilize the energy transformed from the earth's power absorbed by the first soul skill to release the energy. The two can complement each other."

Tang San was pleased that Xiao Wu was willing to think about it. "In this way, even if we cannot successfully cultivate the Fusion Ring skill, our soul skills can complement each other, thus producing a stronger effect. There won't be a situation where each soul skill has a different function and there is no direct connection between them, or even a conflict."

"Each time you obtain a spirit ring, it strengthens your martial spirit. Similarly, if you think about it carefully, you can make your spirit skill puzzle more complete."

"Given my own situation, there are no other factors that can strengthen me in the future. So, as long as my cultivation reaches the Soul Saint level, and if I can perfectly combine my first six Soul Skills, setting aside my Martial Soul True Body, I have more than a 95% chance of fighting any Title Douluo below level 95 and have a probability of winning."

Xiao Wu opened her mouth wide, wanting to say that Tang San was joking, but then she remembered that Tang San's first soul skill, Endless Recovery, could continuously draw on the power of the earth to replenish himself, and his second soul skill, Positive and Negative Buffs, could weaken enemies. Although he was afraid of the wind, he could also release it continuously with the energy provided by the Endless Grassland.

In addition, Tang San has created his own soul skills, is now practicing his control over soul power, and has a way to improve his physical strength.

Xiao Wu felt that it wasn't a problem for a Soul Saint to fight against a Title Douluo. She even thought that once Tang San reached the Soul Emperor level, he could compete with a Title Douluo.

This is really...

Thai pants are hot!

Xiao Wu felt that if she listened to Tang San's arrangements, she might be able to rival a Title Douluo when she became a Soul Saint. At that time, she would definitely teach Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts a lesson and let them know who the real boss of the Star Dou Great Forest was!

Hehehe!

Beast God Emperor Tian?

From now on, I'll make you kneel down and call me Sister Xiaowu!

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about? You're drooling."

Tang San woke Xiao Wu from her sweet dream with a hint of disgust, handed her a handkerchief, and said, "Wipe yourself off, then go practice climbing trees."

"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded." Xiao Wu made a face, walked up to the jujube tree with many footprints, and started her noisy practice.

Now, she no longer needs to use running as a propulsion as before; she can walk upright, which is a great improvement, but she still falls down sometimes.

Tang San patted Guang Ling's head and said, "When you reach level ten and obtain your first spirit ring, you will also need to undergo this kind of training. Right now, your spirit power is too low."

"Yes, I'll follow your arrangements, brother." Guangling nodded vigorously. Although Tang San had taken her in as a student, she didn't want to call him teacher and preferred to call him brother.

Tang San didn't care about this, simply attributing it to his own charm.
